Atomization of liquids . The process of droplet formation can be represented quite clearly with the aid of dimensionless factors. Thus, clear distinction can be made between dripping, spluttering and atomization for the flow of a liquid through nozzles. In the first two cases laminar flow dominates; droplets of a definite size are formed. Atomization, on the other hand, is conversion of a jet in a turbulent state of flow into a fine spray of droplets covering a wide size range. The most commonly used atomization apparatus include one‐and two‐substance jets, rotation atomizers, and special purpose jets.
